Memphis' record going into the NCAA Tournament the last three years
2006: 30-3 (made it to the Elite 8, losing to #2 seeded and Pac 10 champs UCLA in the West Regional Finals)
2007: 30-3 (made it to the Elite 8, losing to #1 seeded and Big 10 champs Ohio State in the South Regional Finals)
2008: 33-1 (made it to the National Championship Game, losing to #1 seeded and Big XII champs Kansas in the National Finals)

Memphis has proven the last three years that it is not some typical "mid-major" with an inflated record. I suppose they will have to do so once again this year and the year after that and after that and so on. As long as Memphis is a member of C-USA, they will get shat all over, no matter who they beat or how many games they win in the Dance.

No way would SF Husky been talking about MEMPHIS in that statement...as if he was....that's sad he knows so little.

You got selective reading skills. I would suggest you go back and read my post again.

Last year's Memphis team would have won the the BE. This year's Memphis team does not deserve a #1 seed. Memphis at best is a 2nd tier BE team. If Memphis is a #1, so should Nova and Marquette.

CUSA is a mid major conference with bunch of crappy teams. A win streak against bunch of CUSA teams is nothing to write home about.
